Raines' / Double / Soda Water // Christchurch / New Zealand. Aerated Water Torpedo Applied top. Aqua. 13 oz. 246 mm. 1870s
Very Good. Polished. Very light haze and some remnant stain internally. This is an amazingly crude bottle, there are manufacturing swirls throughout and there are so many tiny bubbles that it gives a slightly hazy appearance. Some large bubbles in the glass as well. Internally there is a small section of orange peel type effect. Still some scuffs and scratches externally, with some pit marks to be found. Embossing remains nice and crisp. The point at the base has three discoloured dings / fisheyes side by side. A nice, early bottle. Grade: 7.35 Estimate: $75 - 100
